Pros & Cons
Pros
The printer has can present a net home page for many setup and status functions; the default password is its serial number. Thank goodness for wps, entering a password on the lcd would have been problematic. It does well with handling the main and rea... Read More
This is resolved by turning off and restarting. I like that it has both a back feeder and a flatbed scanner.
Great so far for a beginner artist. About the size of a file folder label.
Photo printing is very good, though slow on best photo mode. The (slightly) higher upfront cost of this printer paid for itself within 2-3 months.
Cons
Used ink is drained into a thin, maybe a 1/4 inch foam sponge at the base of the printer. If this sponge fills your printer stops working. One minute it prints from the tray, the next from the rear tray.

I have gone through 7 reems of paper and have not even noticed any drop in ink.
Price
It offers great value for money, and i really love this printer.
I can't think of any reason why a page feeder would be a necessity for a home printer, so save yourself some money and space.
75oz of black ink, $11 for the 70ml of color ink.
Replacement ink from canon on amazon seems extremely reasonably priced ($17 for 170ml / 5.
Packaging/appearance
Suggestions that envelopes and photo paper would be put in the cassette seemed ridiculous for my needs.
Competitiveness
Like this printer better than any of the other brands that i have had
Unfortunately, support for that printer disappeared from my computer's operating system, at which point i reluctantly switched ... Read More
